Abstract
A computer-implemented method for the determination of the optimal image viewing direction of an asymmetrical object is included. The method generates a 3D surface reconstruction of the object from 2D images of the object obtained from different perspectives. A point of interest can be specified in at least one of the used 2D images and an area of interest can be specified in the object where the point of interest lies within. A plane containing view directions with reduced foreshortening for the specified area of interest is generated and a 3D point corresponding to the specified point of interest is determined on the 3D surface reconstruction of the object. At least one particular view direction corresponding to the 3D point and located with the identified plane is considered as the optimal image viewing direction of the asymmetrical object. A corresponding apparatus and computer program are also disclosed.
